AuthorTopic: fructose density? (Read 11539 times)

I am trying to find the density for fructose.. I am doing a lab that is identifying an unknown substance. I believe I found it once, but can not find the website any longer, and most places that I have been reading the msds sheets for fructose don't list a density. I believe it is 1.346, but can't find any place to confirm this. If anyone can point me in the right direction, or if you have a chem book with it in there, it would be greatly appreciated if you help me out.

The easiest way to find something's density is usually to check a catalog if it's commercially available. try www.sigmaaldrich.com and search from there. Keep in mind that if it's a solid, you won't see a density listed.

That first site, I tried looking at earlier and coulnd't understand where to find the information for density. The substance is a white crystaline powder that we have in class.

As far as being near gluclose that is possible, but It wouldn't help on my substance since its not close to the density.We were givingbarium sulfate, calcium hydroxide, citric acid, fructose, monosodoium glutamate, pottassium nitrate, succrose for the options.

My density that I caculated last class was 1.345 9.981grams for a 1/2 tablespoon or 7.3934 cm3= 1.345 none of those are close to that density besides the one I had for fructose at 1.346... sure wish I could find that site again to confirm.
